Butler County OH Sheriff Issues Warning

Date: February 12, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider MP3 | Order

There are significant warnings being expressed by some individuals concerning the internal safety and security of the United States.  These warnings are coming from the highest levels of government all the way down to the level of our county sheriffs.

The importance of this matter cannot be overstated.  Jim proved the point as he aired 3 audio clips.  The first was from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson as he questioned Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas concerning what’s been taking place at the southern border.  The second audio clip featured Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, who noted how multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for direct attacks on the U.S. or its assets and the threat from domestic extremist groups.  In the third clip, FBI Director Wray discussed the ongoing, multi-pronged threat of China.  

These audio clips set the stage for comments that came from Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard Jones.  At a press conference conducted last week, he shared information obtained while attending the National Sheriffs Association Winter Conference that was held in Washington, D.C., on February 3-6.  The sheriffs were briefed at the conference by numerous high level government officials and heard the latest regarding crime and national security, border crime, gangs, drugs, terrorism and violent extremism.

You’ll want to share this information with others as you’ll hear Sheriff Jones discuss the warning as well as the actions he’s taking in his county.

News Roundup & Comment

Date: February 9, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider MP3 | Order

Here’s a sample of the many stories Jim rolled out to get listeners caught up on the news.  Listeners were given their chance to comment as well.

–The Supreme Court seems poised to allow former President Trump to remain on the Colorado ballot and expressing deep concerns about permitting a single state to disqualify the leading Republican candidate from seeking national offices.

–A visibly upset President Joe Biden addressed the nation late Thursday to respond to news that a special counsel tasked with investigating his handling of classified documents had chosen not to charge him but also detailed numerous examples of his memory loss.  The special counsel report, while clearing the president, sparked questions about his mental fitness.   

–President Biden got completely lost during a press conference and a reporter had to remind him they were talking about Hamas. 

–Congressional Republicans were quick to condemn the Justice Department for not prosecuting Joe Biden for his mishandling of classified documents despite charging former President Trump in the case against him.

 “Religion and Science” Weekend

Date: February 8, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Jay Seegert MP3 | Order

Jay Seegert is the founder & managing director for The Starting Point Project.  He holds degrees in both Physics and Engineering Technology.  Jay is an international speaker and author.  He conducts trips to the Grand Canyon and is President of Logos Research Associates, the world’s largest group of scientists who are Christians and biblical creationists.  He’s speaker for the Creation Science Association of Fiji and has been speaking on science and the authority of Scripture for nearly 4 decades.

This coming Monday, February 12th, is the birthday of Charles Darwin who was born in 1809.  This is the same day as Lincoln’s birthday, but unlike the former president, Darwin was a promoter of evolution and his teachings have been promoted throughout society, especially in educational settings and museums.  Sadly, this theory has also been adopted by many churches and religious organizations.

Back in 2004, a man named Michael Zimmerman was engaged in a battle against a school district in Wisconsin because he didn’t like creation being taught.  He brought approximately 200 clergy together to sign a letter to the school board.  As a result, they retracted their policies regarding the teaching of creation.

Zimmerman was encouraged by this and others encouraged him to take this nationwide, so he started the Clergy Letter Project.  The goal was to get churches to celebrate evolution on the Sunday closest to Darwin’s birthday.  So from 2006 to 2007 they celebrated what was called, “Evolution Sunday.”  That was expanded to “Evolution Weekend” from 2008-2022.  Then last year it was changed to “Religion and Science Weekend.”   

This program covers who Charles Darwin was and what he believed, evolution’s undeniable racist thread, the biblical problems with evolution, and the unfortunate attempt at syncretism that’s causing some churches to fall prey to this errant teaching.

Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands

Date: February 7, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Dr. Titus Kennedy MP3 | Order

Many skeptics feel the Bible is a fairy tale or myth.  Some claim it can’t be trusted because it’s full of contradictions and errors.  Still others doubt the locations and events that the Bible describes.  While the historical accuracy of the Bible has fallen under increased scrutiny and has been a topic of debate, new archaeological discoveries from an expanding host of ancient sites found in Bible lands continue to provide evidence pertaining to questions of reliability.

To provide insight on this issue, Crosstalk welcomed Dr. Titus Kennedy.  Dr. Kennedy is a professional archaeologist and a research fellow at Discovery Institute.  He is a consultant, writer and guide for history and archaeology documentaries and curricula, and currently directs archaeological projects in Bible lands.  He’s also researched and photographed archaeological sites and artifacts around the world.  He’s an author of the newly released, The Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands: Uncovering Biblical Sites of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean World.

Dr. Kennedy noted that if we didn’t know where many biblical ancient sites were, we’d have a very different view of geography and specifically, biblical geography.  So don’t miss this edition of Crosstalk as Dr. Kennedy shares examples showing why archaeological sites have been instrumental for furthering our understanding of ancient locations, geography, history, chronology, economics, language, religion and the culture of the biblical world.  For example, you’ll hear about the following:

What archaeology tells us about the size of the ancient biblical world.

What constitutes an archaeological site?

What helps Dr. Kennedy find some of these ancient sites?

The city of Uruk in Mesopotamia (southern Iraq), Ptah–a god of ancient Egypt, and Babylon.

What is the Levant?

The Pool of Siloam and the Pilate stone… 

   …and much more!

How to Brainwash a Nation

Date: February 6, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: William J. Federer MP3 | Order

Recently Jim reported on some startling figures indicating that nearly 30% of Gen-Z’ers are identifying as LGBTQ+.  In some areas, Social Services are removing minor children from parents because they believe parents are not affirming.  

The Daily Caller is running a story today regarding audio they’ve obtained of a psychologist at a medical training summit in 2022.  This psychologist indicated that it’s parents who do not affirm their child’s gender identity as having a mental illness.

What’s causing this brainwashing that makes people believe that socialism is better for America, that taking the life of the unborn is good but abusive to women to protect that same life?  

Perhaps even more telling is a statistic from George Barna and the Cultural Research Center indicating that pre-teens are on track to abandon biblical Christianity in record numbers. 

Can we document what’s causing this deterioration of society?  William Federer can and he does just that on this broadcast.  He’s a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc.  He’s the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast.  He has authored numerous books including, America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America?, and Socialism: The Real History From Plato to the Present – How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.

The best way to summarize this edition of Crosstalk is through the following quote by socialist Antonio Gramsci, who realized that if you’re going to defeat the West, you have to do it slowly by rotting things from the inside.  It’s known as the long march through the institutions.  From his 1937 prison notebook, here’s the quote as presented by William:

“The civilized world has been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2,000 years.  Any country grounded in Judeo-Christian values cannot be overthrown until those roots are cut.  Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity.  In the new order, socialism will triumph by capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches, media, transforming the consciousness of society.” 

It’s all about brainwashing America through psychological operations, and more specifically, doing it by weaponizing marketing techniques.  From Crisco to colleges and everything in between, you’ll hear William explain how it all works in its attempt to promote socialist political agendas.

The Unravelling Border

Date: February 5, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Andrew Arthur MP3 | Order

Andrew Arthur is Resident Fellow in Law and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies. He began his legal career through the Attorney General’s Honors Program as a clerk to an Administrative Law Judge in the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer at the United States Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review.  Later in his career he was promoted to the Immigration and Naturalization Service General Counsel’s Office in D.C., first as an Associate General Counsel, then as an Assistant General Counsel and Acting Chief of the INS National Security Law Division.  In the General Counsel’s Office, he supervised attorneys handling cases involving espionage, terrorism, and persecutors.  He advised the Attorney General among others on matters pertaining to National Security.  In 2001, he left INS to become a Counsel on the House Judiciary Committee where he performed oversight of immigration issues.  After 5 years there, he was appointed to the immigration bench serving for eight years as an Immigration Judge at the York Immigration Court in York, Pennsylvania.  At the beginning of the 114th Congress, Judge Arthur left the bench and came back to Capitol Hill, where he served as Staff Director of the National Security Subcommittee at House Oversight and Government Reform before taking retirement from federal service in 2016.

Crosstalk continues to monitor progress on our nation’s southern border because many believe this to be a national security issue.  One state, however, decided to take action.  The governor of Texas made great efforts to secure his state but is being thwarted and fought against by the Biden administration.  Speaking of the President, he curtailed many of the Trump policies which brought much broader protection to the U.S.  He seeks to blame the previous administration and Congress as a source for failing to take action on what he describes as meaningful border control legislation.  So what about the Senate?  Just yesterday they released their border bill.  Speaker of the House Mike Johnson described it as “dead on arrival.”

Just how bad is the situation?  FBI Director Christopher Wray has indicated that the number of illegal immigrants evading border patrol agents and escaping into our nation is a source of “great concern for the FBI.”  Andrew noted that in December, Customs and Border Protection encountered about 300,000 people entering the U.S., of which nearly 250,000 were entering illegally.  These are the largest numbers ever seen in U.S. history and doesn’t include those aliens that entered our country illegally and managed to evade border patrol agents (the “got-a-ways”).

Get caught up on the details of this issue as Jim and Andrew cover the following and more…

What’s happening with the massive spike in the number of “no-shows” to our immigration courts?

What is the morale of border patrol officers at this time?

What exactly is asylum?  

What’s the latest concerning additional wall construction?

Where does the attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stand?

Disease X

Date: February 1, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Alex Newman MP3 | Order

Alex Newman is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant.  He is senior editor for The New American. He is co-author of Crimes of the Educators, author of Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes and the new book, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death.  He’s also founder of Liberty Sentinel.

The World Health Organization is promoting a pandemic treaty for all nations of the world to surrender individual sovereignty to a worldwide body to make your healthcare decisions and that of the world.  In fact, next week, February 5th-9th, is the seventh meeting of the  working group on amendments to the International Health Regulations.  The document would be binding as international law.

Also on the international health front, world leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum, and one of the topics of discussion was preparation for a worldwide pandemic known as Disease X.  Alex described it as a hypothetical/theoretical disease that might be 20 times more deadly than COVID-19.   It’s a “placeholder” that governments and international organizations are using to make preparations in terms of pharmaceutical preparedness and equipment.  He also sees it as a pretext to justify some radical policy power grabs on the international level. 

Jim provided audio from Tedros Ghebreyesus, the leader of the World Health Organization, as he spoke to the World Economic Forum.  Alex unpacked the comments of Ghebreyesus in light of his background as he was one of the top leaders of a Marxist/terrorist organization in Ethiopia.

Was COVID-19 a trial run for what might take place with Disease X?  Follow along as Alex explains what’s involved in this new element and how it fits into the plan to affect and control the medical future of the world.
